Stocking Stuffing[]

Players can give gifts to other players via the Stocking Stuffing page. Any avatar items, as well as most other items such as philters, can be given as gifts. Players can use a wishlist available on their own page to choose which items they don't want to receive. There is no limit on how many gifts can be given to a select person, and players can see who put gifts into their stocking. On the 25th, the stockings may be opened (though presents may still be placed inside stockings until the page closes).


Gingerbread House[]

Description:

The object of this contest is to build a Gingerbread House using edible materials! Your Gingerbread House must be built by using any type of food. You are not required to use gingerbread. You are free to use crackers, other types of bread, etc. However, you must use real food in this contest! The small use of non food items (like toothpicks) are allowed to improve the structural integrity of your submission. They must be used sparingly though and it must be obvious that your submission is made of actual edible materials. 

Previous Winners[]

Esior's Fields Winter Festival Zone[]

Description:
*You should only explore this Zone if your Pets are at least Level 10
The zone changes throughout each new Winter fest. In the zone you can explore, encounter themed/tagged pets, special bosses, and find Avatar items from those bosses. The Zone also has an event that happens every few hours or so.

Gameplay:

Using the Arrow Nagivation system in the more recent Map Exploring system a player could move around the Festival Zone. There are 10 "Named" that can be encountered. Dark Spectre and Galynda Hoardfrost were the very first available. Fjord Icewall, Elysia Snowfall, Kelvyn Din'Adun and Morgana Felchill were added later.

Gifting[]

Gameplay:

In the past: Players could visit their friends or other people on site via navigating the arrows or inputting the person's ID into the address at the top of the caroling page. A common contribution among users to the game was to do "Present Swaps", swapping presents earned through the Advent Calander, defeating "Named" in the Esior's field's festival area or from buying through the Diamond shop. "Double Swapping" was not unheard of if both participants hadn't visited one on another on that specified day. It guaranteed that if you gave a gift, you got something back.
